This Spring the Summit counseling ministry will be presenting a four part seminar series entitled “Creating a Gospel-Centered Marriage.” This series is excellent for married, engaged, and seriously dating couples.
You can attend any part of this series or the whole. We will offer this series in the Spring (January-May) each year, so you can make plans to attend each component of this series as part of your on-going marital enrichment plan.
Seminars will be presented at 4pm until 5:30 in the South venue of the Brier Creek campus on the designated evenings to allow couples to also attend our Saturday 6pm services. Begin to think now about your unchurched friends who would be interested in these subjects. RSVP links can be found on the Bridgehaven Counseling events page.
